Marieke van Ham PLoS One. 2010 Sep 27;5(9):e13016 Chapter 7 Abstract The eradication of facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens, like Salmonella typhi, requires the concerted action of both the humoral immune response and the cytotoxic CD8+ T cell response. Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to orchestrate the cytotoxic CD8+ T cell response via cross-presentation of bacterial antigens onto MHC class I molecules. Cross-presentation of Salmonella by DCs however, is accompanied by the induction of apoptosis in the DCs. Besides antibody production, B cells are required to clear Salmonella infection for other unknown reasons. Here we show that Salmonella- specific B cells that phagocytoseSalmonella upon BCR-ligation reactivate human memory CD8+ T cells via cross-presentation yielding aSalmonella -specific cytotoxic T cell response. The reactivation of CD8+ T cells is dependent on CD4+ T cell help. Unlike the DCs, B cell- mediated cross-presentation ofSalmonella does not coincide with apoptosis. B cells form a new player in the activation of the cytotoxic effector arm of the immune response and the generation of effective adaptive immunity inSalmonella infection. 142 Cross-presentation by B cells Introduction Salmonella is a pathogenic bacterium that causes severe disease in mice and man. Salmonella typhi (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi) causes invasive diseases in human, which has many features in common with Salmonella typhimurium in mice. The gastrointestinal tract is the major site of primary infection of the host and has to be passed before systemic infection can occur. One way to infect the host cells is via sampling of bacteria by DCs in the intestine. In vitro studies showed that DCs located in the lamina propria under the gut epithelium of the small bowel extend processes across the tight junctions between the epithelial cells and capture bacteria from the luminal side of the gut.1, 2 The major route of infection however, is via microfold cells or M cells.3, 4 The specialized antigen-sampling M cells are located in the dome region of the Peyer’s Patches and are efficient in transportation of macromolecules and microorganisms to the underlying immune cells.2, 5 Like other Gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella uses specific virulence factors to invade other cell types, called the Type III Secretion System (TTSS). Many Salmonella virulence genes are clustered in Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPIs). SPI-1 and SPI-2 encode TTSSs that mediate the injection of effector proteins into the host cell cytoplasm via sophisticated secretion devices.6 SPI-1 is associated with invasion of intestinal epithelia and enhanced intestinal inflammation in the infected host.7, 8 SPI-2 modulates intracellular trafficking and enables replication within a modified vacuolar compartment, called the Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) 9-11 and enhances inflammation during enteric phase.12, 13 Salmonella activates the PKB/Akt1 pathway to prevent maturation of SCV into destructive phagolysosomes, thus manipulating the host for its own survival.14 After transcytosis by M cells, Salmonella reaches the subepithelial dome of the Peyer’s patches and encounters an extensive network of resident macrophages, DCs and great C h a p t e r 7 numbers of B cells.15, 16 Instead of being immediately destroyed by these cells, Salmonella have evolved several mechanisms to survive in the harsh milieu of phagosomal compartments 17 and can be cytotoxic to macrophages by inducing apoptosis in vitro.18, 19 Recently, we showed that recognition ofSalmonella via the specific B cell receptor (BCR) on B cells results in internalization ofSalmonella . Salmonella is able to survive intracellularly in primary B cells in a non-replicative state.20 Following uptake of Salmonella, B cells do not go into apoptosis, but differentiate and start to produce Salmonella-specific antibodies. In addition, BCR-mediated phagocytosis of Salmonella by B cells leads to antigen presentation via MHC class II and subsequent CD4+ T cell activation, which in turn boosts antibody production by the infected B cell. Antibody transfer studies have shown that the requirement for B cells in the clearance of 143 Chapter 7 Salmonella does not solely depend on antibody formation.21 Which additional immune responses need B cell involvement remains unclear. For clearance of Salmonella, not only the humoral immune response is required, but also the activation of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells is needed to eliminate Salmonella-infected cells. Recently, DCs have been shown to activate Salmonella-specific CD8+ memory T cells after direct uptake of bacteria or via suicide cross-presentation after uptake of S. typhi-infected human cells.22 As the generation of Salmonella antigens for MHC class II molecules is an efficient process in infected B cells, we tested whether BCR-mediated phagocytosis also leads to cross- presentation of Salmonella antigens via the MHC class I pathway of B cells and whether this elicits a cytotoxic T cell response against Salmonella-infected cells. Here we show that Salmonella-specific primary B cells that have internalized Salmonella do cross-present Salmonella antigens via MHC class I in a proteasome-dependent manner. Cross-presentation ofSalmonella antigens by B cells reactivatesSalmonella -specific CD8+ memory cells that acquire a cytotoxic phenotype and are efficient in killing ofSalmonella - infected cells. Thus, antigen-specific B cells are an under appreciated type of cell for the induction of a cytotoxic T cell response against facultative intracellular bacteria. Materials and methods Antibodies and fluorophores mAb anti-human IgM (MH15, Sanquin, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) was mixed with rat anti-mouse IgG1 antibody (RM161.1, Sanquin) and mAb anti-S. typhimurium LPS (1E6, Biodesign International, Kennebunk, ME) to generate BCR-LPS tetrameric antibody complexes, used to coat bacteria as previously described.20 Antagonist anti-human CD40 mouse monoclonal antibody was a kind gift of Dr. L. Boon. The following labeled anti-human mAbs were obtained from BD Biosciences (San Jose, CA): anti-IFN-γ-FITC, anti-CD27-PE, anti-CD107a-PE, anti-CD8-PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-CD4-APC, anti-CD45RO-PE, AnnexinV-APC and IgG1-PerCP-Cy5.5 isotype control. FITC-conjugated antibody IgG1, IgG2a and IgG2b, IgG1-PE and IgG1-APC isotype controls and PE- conjugated anti-CD8 blocking antibody were obtained from DAKO (Glostrup, Denmark). Anti-CD45RA-FITC and anti-CD45RO-FITC were obtained from Sanquin and DAPI from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). CFSE (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) labeling was used in proliferation assays. Bacterial growth conditions GFP expressing-S. typhimurium SL1344 was described before.33 GFP-Salmonella defective 144 Cross-presentation by B cells in SPI-1 (invA mutant) or SPI-2 (ssrA mutant) were a kind gift of M. Rescigno (European Institute of Oncology, Milan, Italy). Staphylococcus aureus expressing GFP (RN4220 with pWVW189GFP) was kindly provided by S. A. J. Zaat (Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). All bacteria strains were grown overnight at 37ºC in Luria- Bertani (LB) broth with carbenicillin or chloramphenicol (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) to maintain GFP expression while shaking, subcultured at a dilution of 1:33 in fresh LB medium and incubated while shaking at 37ºC for 3 to 4 hours to obtain exponentially growing bacteria. For coating, bacteria were washed twice with PBS and incubated with BCR-LPS tetrameric antibody complexes for 30 minutes at room temperature and washed twice with PBS to remove unbound antibodies. For experiments with dead Salmonella, bacteria were heat killed by incubation at 65°C for 15 minutes. Lymphocyte isolation and B lymphocyte infection with Salmonella Human PBMCs were isolated by centrifugation on a Ficoll-Hypaque gradient (Axis- Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) from a buffycoat obtained from healthy donors (Sanquin). All donors provided written informed consent in accordance with the protocol of the local institutional review board, the Medical Ethics Committee of Sanquin Bloodbank (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and the Medical Ethics Committee of Sanquin approved the study. B and T cells were subsequently purified using anti-CD19, anti-CD4, anti-CD8 Dynabeads and DETACHaBEAD (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Monocytes were isolated by positive selection using CD14 microbeads and a magnetic cell separator (MACS, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Monocytes were cultured at a concentration of 1×106 cells/ml in 20 ml Cellgro medium (CellGenix, Freiburg, Germany) supplemented with GM-CSF (1,000 IU/ml; Cellgenix) and IL-4 (800 IU/ml; Cellgenix) in a 80 cm2 cell culture flask (Nunc, Roskilde Denmark) to generate immature DCs.
